We were having dinner at my in-law’s house and I had overheard the TV playing in the back ground. At one point, I thought I had heard the squealing of teenagers who were fawning over Justin Beiber. Instead, it turned out that it was someone on the news reporting the new, much lower 9.4% unemployment rate. I could hear the panting of excitement spoken by the breathless reporters who were interviewing very serious economists about this new 9.4% rate. The news aired their personal interest piece about a girl who was just hired at an internet company. She commented with the utmost confidence that the economy was getting better!! You have all heard that saying, “it is a recession when your neighbor loses a job, but when you lose a job it is a depression.” Well, according to her, we are out of her depression.

But alas, this is all a dream and the media is using their very best, tried and true propaganda to keep the people from getting too upset with reality. Let me just state that the real rate of unemployment is much, much more than the 9.4% and if the government really reported what was really going on, there would be revolution in the morning. Allow me to destroy this fictional 9.4% number and the billion dollar propaganda machine that provides cover for the trillion dollar banking and government schemes. I will accomplish this magical feat with writing a blog post in my pajamas. That is real magic!

Please leave the 911inside wackjobs at the Alex Jones site. I thought this was a web site on leavelheaded economic reality. Not a site chasing boogeymen in the night. This type of stories make this site look like a not so credible source of info. Forget my ever making a donation here. My money goes to reality. See yah bye bye for good............

When I come across people in real life (not TV) it seems half of them don't work (every other person). Young people and the extra old especially seem to be the least employed.

I'd say for ages 35 to 50 the employment rate is the highest. The future isn't very bright for today's youth. If you're a young intellectual for example the world doesn't have much to offer you.

Years back the American Dream allowed young thinkers to go to school, come out and get a job where they could work their mathematical or scientific insights to the fullest extent and get rewarded for it.

No jobs now, no rewards either, and schools have become a place of dumbification thanks to the countless propaganda machines infecting the universities under the facade of "social programs".

Hopefully a crash comes and any strong young minds out in the world (if there are any left) will be able to employ their gift to rebuilding the world on a better foundation.
